Displaying MAC Laptop on sony tv can i use Apple TV

Going to get Mac book pro and apple tv. Thought this would be a good way to display whatever is on the mac on to the Sony LCD tv rather than plugging in a cable to the tv. Is this possible?

If you mean like you want to use the Sony as a display monitor whilst working on your macbook, eg a word or pages document, or browse the internet then I think the answer is no. The apple tv is more of a media center interface receiving streaming content from your computer.

If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly. If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

Apple TV requires an HDTV. It is a media streamer and all content would be available on your Mac so there would be no reason to connect it anyway.

Can i use apple tv to make my mac a monitor

You can, somewhat. Certain iMacs released in the last two years support "Target Display Mode" which lets you use them as very expensive dedicated external monitors. In theory you could hook your Apple TV up to that with an HDMI to minidisplayport or (possibly) Thunderbolt adapter. (See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924 for Target Display Mode specifics)
But I would have to question the value in that, since you could buy a decent comparable sized flat screen TV for 1/5th the price of that iMac.
If your goal is to watch media content on your iMac, you would almost certainly be better off doing it using the Front Row application, or setting up iTunes to display fullscreen content and control it from your iOs device with the App Store's "Remote" program.

Can you use apple tv on 2009 mac

can you use apple tv on a 2009 mac . I have Mac OS X (10.7.5 running

Yes but it will probably be too old for Airplay mirroring of the Mac's display but should work fine for sharing photos from iPhoto/Aperture or playing compatibl media from your local iTunes library with iTunes running.
For many features AppleTv does not need a computer at all.

Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

Hello Khayalh,
You should be able to link your phone number by following the steps in the article below. From your iPhone, sign out of FaceTime and iMessage and then sign back in and it should link. Check in the Start Conversation With and I Can Be Reached at section in iMessage and FaceTime respectively.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

Custom will show automatically as soon as you just edit some options. So just go ahead, you don't need to select "custom"
